The story of special handwoven blanket

This is a story of a blanket I designed fresh off my loom, a promised gift for our son who graduated last year with his MA in engineering , Because he worked a full time job and had two very small toddlers I wove it large enough for his whole family to snuggle under on their sofa or bed. He could not have done it with out their support too, We are very proud of Mr J and to think you were home schooled , just look at you now ...

some of my hand dyed yarns drying that I used in the blanket

my hand dyed and hand spun art yarn

The warp yarns wound and chained waiting to be threaded , sleyed and beamed onto the loom

off the cloth beam a LONG weaving! how long? Really really long!

Ready to be cut apart and sewn together

HAND SEWING THE 3 PANELS TOGETHER

WASHED AND DRYING ON THE DECK RAILING

WAITING FOR FRINGES TO BE TRIMMED

We love you MR J, with or without your degrees.But the most important part about your degree is that we admire your determination and perseverance to acomplish your set goal. Love mum and dad.
